About:

I am an Archaeology & Biological Anthropology student at Western University, under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Nelson.

My SSHRC-funded MA thesis research developed a systematic methodology for applying traditional methods for creating an osteobiography (age, biological sex & stature estimation) to a digital context using computed tomography (CT) scans. My research was conducted on skeletonized remains, modern cadavers, and mummies (Peruvian & Egyptian). My objective is to conduct ethical research that combats the colonial legacy of archaeology, and produce work that is culturally accurate.

I graduated with High Distinction from my Honours BA at Wilfrid Laurier University, majoring in Archaeology & Heritage Studies, and minoring in Criminology.

During my undergraduate years, I focused my studies on bioarchaeological courses to develop my knowledge and skillset in preparation of graduate studies. I was fortunate to have the invaluable opportunity to participate in fieldwork excavations that allowed me to directly engage with archaeological sites, and an internship which focused on the behind-the-scenes of archaeological research.
